Warner took his OWN money for years and invested it into T&T football, something no one TODAY willing to do NO ONE !!!!!!, dont you think he deserve to get some back ? its is a business !!!!
These guys never took their money out and do nothing for the game, NOTHING !!!!!!
Who today wants to take their own money and run T&T football ? not even the people currently there.
Jack said many things in the past and no one heard him, now all of a sudden they hearing, once money involved, they hearing.
Lets be honest fella, i know yuh like and appreciate mr warner, but lets be sensible and admit that warner didn't have to do that, and if he did, then he's even dumber than i thought.
every federation under the FIFA banner gets ah stipend from fifa every yr to operate, and depending on their economy, they also receive cooperate sponsorship from the business community. jamaica who has less industries than us have kept afloat by these methods, and they have enjoyed much more success than us to date.
as ah matter of fact, cpt burrell does not spend ah nickle out of pocket to fund the JFF, he goes about it the way many have, and to be honest, i think he might be on top of the game as far as making money from football without govt funding.
now lets examine jack warner's claim of funding T&T's football with "his own" money! fist off, jack hosted like about three WC finals here, i think the under 20ies, womens under 17, and another big fifa tourney. in those tournaments he was handsomely paid, by fifa, cooperate sponsors from all over the globe, and i believe he had the TV rights and gate receipts.
he also had the tv rights to all gold cup appearances in the last 15 or so yrs, he also had the rights to ah few WC final in the past, he also had TV rights to the hex matches of which T&T competed in every one except 1997, he also had gate receipts for every WCQ games that played either in the oval at the stadium, he also had sponsorship from adidas, puma, carib, beewee, the ministry of sports and ah few big name sponsors right here on the island, so if jack funded the mens national team with his own money, then where did all the money he got for gate, TV, and local sponsorship and the govt went?
